This is the second presentation of its kind prepared by the Pravieniškės Correctional Center at the request of H. Daktaras.
In December 2019, the Kaunas Regional Court rejected the provision of the correctional facility and ruled that there were no grounds to commute H. Daktar’s sentence at that time.
Later, the court held that the convicted man’s conduct in the penitentiary was not impeccable, and he himself, even more than 20 years after the very serious crimes for which he was serving a sentence, did not admit his guilt and considered that he had been unreasonably sentenced with hardness.
At the beginning of January last year, the Lithuanian Court of Appeal upheld this decision and stated that the mere fact that H. Daktaras had already served more than 20 years of life imprisonment did not constitute grounds for changing the sentence imposed.
H. Dr.
H. It is considered that the start of the imprisonment of the doctor is the year 2009, but the time spent in prison is also included in the penalty according to the previous convictions of the Vilnius Regional Court in February 1997 and December 2006.
In December 2008, the court allowed Mr. Doctor to be arrested, but he went into hiding and was not arrested until the following autumn in Bulgaria, near the city of Varna.
According to amendments to the law approved by the Seimas in spring 2019, a person sentenced to life imprisonment can request a judicial review of his sentence after 20 years in prison. After evaluating the conduct of the convicted person, the court may impose a prison sentence of five to ten years.
These amendments were adopted in compliance with the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights. In 2017, the Strasbourg court found that Lithuania violates the rights of people sentenced to life imprisonment, without creating any real chance of their being released.
If the court decides not to satisfy the prison, the custodial sentence can be reapplied after one year.
